You can be kind, compassionate, helpful, collaborative, and thankful - but if you do these things and you do not have a regard for the "other" as a person you have nothing. All virtues can be corrupted if you regard the "other" as a challenge, a vehicle or as irrelevant!
There have been many times I have been compassionate - not because I cared about the "other" but because I wanted to "be seen as" a compassionate person. I has caused me to understand how deeply self-absorbed I am!
Work on your Way of Being first!
